The Puerto Rican parrot or "iguaca" (as our Taino Indians called it) is a bright green bird with a red band on the forehead, a white ring around the eye and the blue primary feathers. Juveniles are quite similar to adults. Both females and males are similar and measure about twelve inches.

The cardinal is a ground feeder and finds food while hopping through forests and shrubbery. The adults diet consists of insects, spiders, wild fruits, berries, and weed seeds. They feed their young almost exclusively on insects. In the winter, Cardinals eat more seeds and berries since insects are

The corvids, a group that includes crows, ravens, jays, rooks, jackdaws, and magpies. These are considered some of the most social and intelligent species of birds on the planet. Forming alliances, fostering relationships, and recognizing individuals is all part of what gives credit to their brilliance.

Audubon speaks about the phenomenon in seemingly awestruck way, noting their power and magnitude while noting the birds’ formation as a natural wonder. A striking characteristic of his description is his

Bald eagles are birds of prey, mainly feeding on fish but they also may feed on other small birds. Eagles steal from other consumers quite often, attacking birds just to snatch a salmon from their talons. They also have been known to swoop down on otters to claim fish as the otters are eating it. An eagle's niche consists of praying and stealing food from the

One of its most important characteristics is its beak. The finch adapted to have a thin, long beak to probe through moss, bark and leaves in search of food (Wildscreen Arkive, N.D.). These finches have the thinnest beak out of the 13 finches; which aids them to find small insects. The Green Warbler finch are mostly found in humid highland forest where their primary food source is found. These adaptations made them more fit to survive on available food. Over the years the finch’s beak has evolved as the bird developed different taste for insects. Another famous adaptation is how they camouflage in their environment. The Green Warbler is restricted to the forest and is greener in body colouration, while the Gray Warbler is found in shrubby, dry thickets and is greyer and duller looking (Certhidea olivacea, 2010). Their coloration helps them camouflage in their own environments, and to hide from predators. Recent studies have found that there are in fact two separate species of the Warbler Finch, the Green Warbler Finch and the Grey Warbler Finch, but are considered as a single species (Wildscreen Arkive, N.D.). The Green Warbler finch mainly occupies larger, inner islands, while the Grey Warbler finch inhabits the smaller, outer islands (Green Warbler Finch,

The Australian King Parrot numbers are increasing in suburbs that have a lot of trees. They will eat out of bird feeders in urban

delicate vision of a bird: “I fly with my own wings. I don’t need anyone else to hold me up.”

The adult Great Blue Heron is a blue-gray color. They have a black stripe above their yellow eyes. The stripe extends to the back of the neck turning into a plume of feathers like a ponytail. They have gray, shaggy neck feathers with streaks of white, black, and rust-brown. They

They are the largest gulls in the world with a domineering attitude as they follow fishing boats to pick up scraps and bait. They eat from trash cans and landfills. And their built serves to intimidates other seabirds and they steal their catches from them. They breed during the months of March to late June. Usually found on rocky and sandy coasts and estuaries, inland wetland habitats, such as lakes, ponds, rivers, wet fields and a wide range of fish species, squid, the, Jonah, rock and green crabs, sea urchins, starfish, echinoderms, crustaceans and mollusks. They are usually found in the Northwest of Russia, coastal areas of Scandinavia, Baltic Sea coasts, northwestern coast of France, UK, Ireland. North Atlantic, Iceland, southern Greenland, Atlantic coasts of Canada and US, north Carolina. Northern coasts of Europe, Portugal, North America. Baltic Sea, Sweden, Finland, the Caribbean and northern coast of South America. The Tricolored Heron is also Order to the Pelecaniformes and are least concern. They are medium size generally, with a long slender neck and bill which allows for it to burrowing deep into the marshy soil or water for its prey. These breed during the months of February to August and live in fresh and saltwater marshes, estuaries, mangrove swamps, lagoons, and river deltas they feed mostly on fish, crustaceans, frogs, tadpoles, salamanders, lizards, and large insects and are commonly found in, Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, northern Brazil and the Pacific Coast. The Southern Lapwing is Order to the Charadriiformes and are of least concern also. They live Panama and the northern parts of South America, Costa Rica and from Venezuela to the southern parts of South America. They breed during the months of August to December in Central Brazil and are known for roosting in grasslands, pastures, on coastlines, near large bodies of water, inland, away from major bodies of

Northern Harriers usually fly slowly and low over the ground, their wings held in a V-shape as they glide. Most males have either one mate or two mates at a time, but some have up to five mates when food is abundant. Each male courts females and advertises his territory by performing sky-dancing displays: undulating, rollercoaster-like flights up to 1,000 feet off the ground, sometimes covering more than half a mile. Although they don’t protect large territories, both males and females vigorously defend the nest itself. Nesting females usually chase away other females, and males chase other males. Females incubate eggs and brood chicks, while males provide most of the food for the females and nestlings. Nest predators include coyotes, feral

These birds most commonly found in North America. It will breed through a wide range from western Alaska and Northern Canada all the way to the west Indies and Panama. The bird is one of the larger birds in its subspecies it weighs about 1.52-3.53 pounds or 690-1600 grams, and measuring 45–65 centimeters or 18–26 Inches in

When the wings are open, males are a royal blue when open, and females are more of a brown. All the adults, when closed, are light blue with black or gray marks. they have orange eye spots towards the bottom of their wing used to confuse bird predators. If the predator thinks it is the head and tries to peck it, only a small portion of the wing will be damaged.

Severely restricted inside the barren cages, the birds are unable to engage in nearly any of their natural habits, including nesting, perching, walking, dust bathing, foraging, or even spreading their wings” (HSUS, 2009).

The color of their fur is yellowish gold and brown tipped. The color changes during different seasons and climates.
